The last month had a whirlwind of events. Yet for me, one particular two week period stands out the most. I recall where I was sitting when I received the text about a friend we have known over 20 years. As I read the words, “he has passed on,” my own breath caught in my…

Heaven’s War Sound
It keeps reverberating in my spirit. It is as if I could place myself back in time under those trees with David and his armies. Once again the Philistines were coming against him. As was his custom, David asked God what battle plan he should take. “And it shall be, when you hear the sound…
Broken Pieces
“But You promised me! This is not what You said You would do! You hurt me!” Raw and real words. Yes, I cried them out to my Lord. I just couldn’t understand. While my husband and I were praying over a difficult situation, I laid out tough questions. Right after prayer, my husband received a…
Facing the Wall
Sometimes in life we hit a wall. Walls can either be there to protect something or block the progress of something. And when we hit that wall, we have a choice how we will deal with it. This past weekend while driving around running errands, my mind was full of details about where our life…

Only My Son deserves the focus.”
Silent Patience
There is a new norm in our world today. It is a quietness in society. The stadiums, streets, concert halls, restaurants, etc., all have a resounding silence that is unknown to this generation. Yet it is not the first time in history that a society has been brought to an almost complete halt. So as…
Love Enough
“Greater love has no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.” – Jesus February. It is the time of year we hear the most talk about love. Flowers, roses and candy can be seen in every store. The main focus during this time tends to be set aside for showing…
Oil for the Season
Who doesn’t love the beauty of the mountains covered with majestic conifers?! When the mist is settling above the trees, it brings a sense of peace in its beauty. We see the Master’s handiwork in full display. But how do these green trees survive the harsh months of winter with almost no effect? It’s in…
